Q: Hello, I was pulled over and cited for not have my kids in proper safety seats. I had 3Kids. 3, 5, and 10 years
I had to urgently pick them up from my sisters and had them in seat belts. But I got 3 tickets for not having them in car seats
A: The Illinois Child Passenger Protection Act (625 ILCS 25/1) provides the requirements for proper child restraints in vehicles. It would be a good idea to speak to an attorney that practices in the courthouse where your tickets are assigned regarding the three violations. Taking photos of the required child safety seats secured in your vehicle may be helpful in court.
Juan Ooink agrees with this answer
A: You really should hire an attorney to assist you with this matter. The sooner you hire an attorney, the better.
